“Love all the events you cover. I had no idea so much goes on in Warren County.” - Gene S., new Warren County resident

“The return of Warren County Wanderings this year was one of the best things that could happen to Northwest New Jersey! With its vast coverage of all the many wonderful events - both community and professional - which make our region such a special place to live, the Wanderings is a guidepost of discovery and a nexus of community in a culturally rich and environmentally singular area.” - Catherine Rust, General Manager, Centenary Stage Company

Starting April 5, 2017

April is the cruellest month. - T. S. Eliot

The "cruellest" month? Let's make it the "coolest" month! An Art Walk kick-off; grape stomping; live music, dance, comedy and theater; a Green Fair; and if that's not intruiging enough, the Easter Bunny is cropping up here and there! And more. The weekend weather forecast looks pretty good, so do your part to make "cool" triumph over "cruel" by getting out there and enjoying life!

Featuring Dennis Melillo, guitar and vocals, with Gary Staples, piano, playing and singing the great American Songbook featuring the songs of George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Rodgers/Hart, Rodgers/Hammerstein, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Fats Waller, Cole Porter and many others.

Take the Easter Bunny Train Ride and visit with Mr. E. Bunny on the train and at the beautiful little glade where the kids can hunt for Easter eggs! Reserve your seats now for the Delaware River Railroad Excursion's special holiday ride.

All are invited to this “Spring Cleanout Extravaganza” and Environmental Education Day to participate in, investigate and learn about reducing, reusing and recycling in our homes and businesses and keeping all of our neighborhoods Green. Click "more" for the full list of activities.

A variety of trucks, heavy equipment, emergency vehicles, and community service vehicles will be on display in the library parking lot for people to see up close. Schools are on vacation that week, so it’s a great time to bring the kids to the library!
